A hero is someone that saves a person even in the slightest of ways.
Soldiers they save us from a lot of things like death.
Doctors they save us from dying or infections.
People they save others from getting ran over by a car or lift heavy things off of us that could potentially kill us.

A hero is someone that people looks up to and a person that is a leader. Hero’s would be cops because they put there life on the line for others. Another one would be firefighters, they kind of do the same thing as far as putting their lives on the line. Coach penned would be one too because of the leadership he has and the advice he gives.

Troy

9/16/2019 10:44:40 am

I agree cops are hero’s for putting their life on the line everyday

Kelton

9/16/2019 10:47:08 am

Coach penner is a hero for his leadership and he’s also scary.

Cole

9/16/2019 10:48:00 am

Coach is a great leader

Caleb

9/16/2019 10:49:23 am

I agree a hero can be people in our everyday lives who influence us in little ways

Troy

9/16/2019 10:42:40 am

A hero is someone who does something great but doesn’t need credit of fame. Firefighters are hero’s because they save property and lives but it is just a regular everyday thing and they aren’t looking for fame for it. Coach Penney is a hero because he comes to practice everyday and deals with us and doesn’t complain about it. Cops are hero’s because they deal with someone else’s problems all day and save lives and keep the peace with no recognition for it.

Troy

9/16/2019 10:43:16 am

Coach penner*

Wylie

9/16/2019 10:45:24 am

I like the penner thing I put that too

A hero is someone who puts others lives before their own in order to keep everyone safe. An example of a real life hero would be cops, cops are always at risk but the keep on doing their jobs to keep us safe. Soldiers are another example of hero’s, they leave home and their family for months or maybe even years at a time just to keep our country safe. Lastly firefighters, firefighters will run into burning buildings not knowing if they’ll make it out or not just to save someone else.

Dylan

9/16/2019 10:44:46 am

I agree that soldiers cops and firefighters are hero’s.

Tamryn

Having the courage to leave your homes for who knows how long is very scary and I’m glad we have hero’s that will do that for us.

Kelton

9/16/2019 10:43:40 am

A hero is someone who is idolized for something greater then themselves. Real life heroes are Tom Brady because he’s the goat, firefighters and EMT’s because they show up to emergency no matter how dangerous.

Cody

9/16/2019 10:45:07 am

Very valid point

Loon

9/16/2019 10:45:42 am

What is a goat?

Troy

9/16/2019 10:45:48 am

I agree Tom Brady is the goat and is a hero in the football world

Cody

9/16/2019 10:43:46 am

A hero is someone who saves or helps others.
A cop is a hero because they help put people away and bring justice
A doctor saves lives and helps save us from sickness
A marine is also a hero because they sacrifice their self to save other people

Dylan

I think a hero is someone who dose a good deed and dose not expect something for it. It may be the mot common answer but I think firefighters, police officers and EMT personnel are hero. Even though they are getting payed to do this, they don’t expect any other compensation from the people they are helping.

Tamryn

9/16/2019 10:47:44 am

Doing a good deed and not expecting anything from it, is a hero in my book too.

Paul

A hero is someone you admire for the things they have done in there life and someone you want to be alike. A hero is a person who has done something to changed or help something in a good way. Three hero’s are Chris’s Kyle, my father, and my mom. They have accomplished a lot of things with obstacles in the way 99% of the time

Loon

9/16/2019 10:46:17 am

Who is Chris Kyle?

Sydnee

9/16/2019 10:46:33 am

Good definition

Cheyenne

9/16/2019 10:48:12 am

I agree with you many hero’s are people we know and not just people like cops and firefighters.

Dakota

9/16/2019 10:44:52 am

A hero is a person who saves others or someone you see is outstanding. An example of a hero is Drew Brees because he’s not very tall and is a excellent football player. Donald trump because he is the guy who made America great again. My mom because she has been there for thick and thin and was always there if I needed someone.

Dylan

9/16/2019 10:46:07 am

I agree that moms are heros as well.

Troy

9/16/2019 10:47:22 am

I agree our moms are hero’s for what they do for us

Tamryn

9/16/2019 10:45:13 am

A hero to me is someone I look up to. Someone who I admire and who is my idol. My heroes are chowder, my parents and my grandma. All of these people are courageous, not afraid to be themselves and some of the strongest people I know. And chowder because it’s his birthday.

Taelyn

9/16/2019 10:46:24 am

I agree that chowder is a hero.

Dakota

9/16/2019 10:47:27 am

I love these examples good work.

Kaleb

9/16/2019 10:50:17 am

Chowder is my idol.

Jacob

A hero is someone who acts as a role model to someone else. This is because people’s hero’s vary on who they are. Some heroes in the real world are people in the military, because they risk their life’s to keep us civilians safe.

Riley

9/17/2019 10:50:18 am

I agree because they risk so much for us.

Owen

9/16/2019 10:46:51 am

A hero to me is someone I can look up to and try to to live up to them every day.
-Doctors- I try to help people out every day.
- Grandparents- I can get inspiration from them.
- Teachers- They help me learn what I need to know for later life.

Caleb

9/16/2019 10:47:16 am

A hero is someone who sticks up for others in small ways or saves lives, A hero doesn’t have to be anyone special just a normal person doing courageous things. Three of my heroes of mine are my grandpa who stepped in when my dad wasn’t around, my old football coach who pushed me to be a better person on and off the field, and lastly my mom who was there to make sure I turned into a gentlemen.

Charlie

A hero is someone or something who goes out of their own way to save someone or something. A firefighter is a hero because they fight blazes not knowing if they’ll come back out. Police officers are another because they have to perform their duties facing hate and criticism. EMTs have to try and keep people alive on the scene of accidents.

Kaleb

9/16/2019 10:47:37 am

A hero is someone you are able to look up to and try to be like.
Doctors are something I say could and should be seen as hero’s.
Military members put there life on line.
Ricky is my hero because he’s killer

Riley

9/17/2019 10:49:22 am

I agree that military servicemen are more literally heroes because 5ey risk their lives for the states.

Destiny

9/16/2019 10:48:24 am

A hero is someone who is admired for their courage, and achievements. Teachers show how children can chase their dreams. Another is a doctor since they save lives everyday and go out of their way to save them. Lastly people, everyday people do heroic things everyday for complete strangers and without doing it with recognitions.

Brooke

9/16/2019 10:49:30 am

Courage is an important thing for a hero to have.

Brooke

9/16/2019 10:48:29 am

A hero is a person who is admired for there achievements and qualities. My defenition of a hero is someone who is willing to help someone even when they cant help themselves. Here are three people that are hero’s Charlize Theron, Bill Gates and Melinda Gates. Charlize is helping people in Africa and Bill and Melianda Gates are helping to improve people’s lives and health.

Cole

9/16/2019 10:52:36 am

A hero is someone you look up to. Donald Trump is my hero because he is a man of his world. Tom Brady is because he is still the Goat at like 40 years old. Ricky Chowder because he can ride rank beef cows.

Tyrell Wortley

A hero is someone who is willing to give up everything to save another. An example of this is a soldier, whether or not you like them they protect us and our country from other countries. Most soldiers tend to suffer physical and mental damage that they end up having for the rest of their lives. Another is the firefighters, who run into buildings to save others who may be trapped inside and put out the raging flames of homes of people and animals. Lastly, there’s police men who try to uphold the law. They face criminals, some on drugs and others with weapons, and help provide aid to those in a car wreck with firemen. Policemen also help find people with the search and rescue teams, to reunite missing family members.

All three of these groups of people are truly the real superheros. They might not look it, but they definitely live. Leaving behind their families and loved ones to help save someone else’s life or loved ones. All three of these lines of work have life long trauma with them, such as ptsd, cancer, and any physical damage.

Riley

A hero is someone you look up to and think of them as a role model or a leader. Three heroes are Danny DeVito, Guy Fieri, and Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves is a great hero because of what he has been through and what he does for everyone else.
